He said to me he wanted to be near to me

He said he never wanted to be out of my sight

But it's too late to give this boy my love tonight

Please wait at the gate of heaven for me, Terry.

He said to me he wanted to be close by my side

We had a quarrel, I was untrue on the night he died

And it's too late to tell this boy how great was

Please wait at the gate of heaven for me, Terry.

He rode into the night, accelerated his motorbike

I cried to him in fright, don't do it, don't do it, don.t do it.

He said to me you are the one I want to be with

He said to me you are the one who my love I shall give

One day he'll know how hard I prayed for him to live

Please wait at the gate of heaven for me, Terry.
